"Chapter 50: A Difficult Victory"
Human beings are constantly looking forward to every new spring, every new summer, every new moon and new year with joy, and they always feel that what they are looking forward to is long overdue, but they do not realize that what they are anxiously looking forward to is their own death.

Nearly 30,000 enemy troops had lost the unified command of their commanders, and the capture of the banner had left the generals who wanted to temporarily replace the command with nothing to do, but the Roman army had all the advantages at this time!
Gamelios' right flank army had been suffering heavy casualties, but Eggers' left flank army had entered the battle in time, and once again attracted a considerable number of enemy troops to the left flank, thus greatly relieving the pressure of the battle on both the front and right flanks.
The three legions of the main army of the central army, which had sharply reduced the pressure, slightly reorganized the formation of their respective legions, and the pikemen of the Cheetah Legion, who had been fighting in disorderly melee at the forefront, were replaced by the barbarian warriors of the Cheetah Legion and the First Legion.
The remaining 3,000 or so pikemen re-formed the pikemen in the rear of the Cheetah Legion under the personal command of Gatus, and then Gatus led the reorganized pikemen phalanx back to the battlefield from the gap between the Cheetah Legion and the right flank army.
The successful completion of the goal of killing the generals and capturing the flag was of great significance, which not only dealt a heavy blow to the morale of the enemy army and caused the enemy army to fall into a leaderless situation, but also greatly boosted the morale of its own soldiers and let the hard-fought soldiers see the hope of victory.
The imposing Roman army began to counterattack, and the right flank of Gamilios was reinforced by Gatus's pikemen phalanx, and by this time, the Roman army surrounded the enemy on three sides of the battlefield was already united!
In this situation, Bai Feng also reluctantly ushered in a breakthrough in his spiritual power realm, in order to save Antio as much as possible, the consequence of Bai Feng's excessive operation of the source of spiritual power was that the realm that was about to be promoted was out of time.
Although the improvement of strength is a good thing, it is too inappropriate to be distracted to improve strength at such a critical moment, Bai Feng has to pay attention to the changes in his dantian on the one hand, and the situation on the battlefield on the other hand.
"Knock...... Boom...... Knock ......"
As the sound of the earth shaking and the mountains shaking got closer and closer, Bai Feng, who suddenly raised his head, really found the smoke and dust rolling up from the rear of the enemy army, this was a large-scale cavalry charge! Could it be that the enemy's backup cavalry arrived?
The face of the unbelievable Bai Feng turned pale in an instant, the large-scale cavalry that appeared on the battlefield at this time was almost impossible to explain other than the enemy's reinforcement cavalry, Nelson's mobile force could not have appeared here.
It may be true that the time has come for the enemy to win the victory, after such a difficult war, and the massive cavalry of the enemy army has arrived on the battlefield at this time.
The Roman army, which had already locked in victory, could not maintain an advantage after the enemy cavalry joined the battlefield, and the current scorching battle firmly entangled the Roman army on three sides, as long as the enemy cavalry attacked from behind the army on either side, the army on that side would immediately fall into the front and rear and quickly collapse, and the enemy army would be completely out of the encirclement by the main army surrounded on three sides.
"Poof......
"What's wrong with you, Governor?"
Bai Feng, who was angry and angry, only felt that his throat was sweet, and then a mouthful of blood spit out of Bai Feng's mouth;
"Governor, the cavalry in front is not the enemy's reinforcement cavalry, it is our cavalry! The green uniform is General Nelson's mobile unit!" Bai Feng just wanted to speak, but Maxi on the side suddenly reported good news to Bai Feng with excitement on his face.
"Nelson's mobile troops?!" Bai Feng, who was shocked, pushed away the people around him, turned over his horse and looked up at the front, and it was indeed not the enemy's black-armored cavalry that charged, but his own green-armored cavalry!
"Okay! With Nelson's merits in this battle, his mobile unit is worthy of the name of the Roman spear!" Bai Feng, who was under great sorrow and joy, was also excited, and he didn't know what to say, and now the enemy army in front of him could not escape even if he had wings.
Nelson led his 6,000 cavalry to the rear of the enemy army and launched the most fierce charge, and the enemy army, who had already detected the rush of the large number of cavalry, thought that it was their reinforcements, but their desire quickly turned into fear.
The 6,000 cavalry charged with all their strength was not something that could be stopped by unsuspecting infantry warriors, not to mention that these infantry warriors were still a tired division that had been fighting for hours, and even if some of the enemy troops turned back in time to defend, many more were still fighting and could not get out.
The worst result in Bai Feng's heart just now did not befall the Roman army, but the enemy's army, and the other three Roman armies suddenly rushed from hell to heaven after discovering that the cavalry was a friendly army.
After the enemy army of less than 30,000 was attacked by the charge of 6,000 cavalry, all the soldiers who tried to stop the cavalry at the rear were trampled into mud by the charging war horses, and the entire enemy battle formation was completely divided and dismembered by Nelson's cavalry troops.
Surrounded on all sides, there was no need for the enemy to continue fighting, and the Roman army, which had become more and more courageous, inflicted great casualties on them, and even the army of Tasia under Camilios was able to gradually move the ratio of casualties back to one to one.
The enemy's stubborn battle lasted about half an hour, and the number of soldiers they suffered in this half hour directly exceeded the number of soldiers in the previous hours, and when the total number of enemy troops dropped to less than 20,000, they finally chose to surrender with no hope of breaking through!
When the first enemy soldier who lost his fighting spirit laid down his weapons in a panic, the wind of surrender spread like a plague among the enemy army, and countless enemy soldiers laid down their weapons in a state of disarray, and the Roman army finally won the victory!
After all the enemy troops had laid down their arms and knelt on the ground, the bloodied Roman warriors seemed to be amazed at the victory before them, until the first warrior to react raised his sword and shouted, "We have won!"
The Roman soldiers on the battlefield came to their senses and won the battle with their own desperate bloodshed, and then all the soldiers of the Roman army began to chant excitedly the slogan 'We have won't'.
Listening to the shouts that resounded in the sky on the battlefield, Bai Feng knew that these soldiers who had fought for hours were not only celebrating their victory in the war, but also celebrating the rest of their lives after the war;
After winning this war, the city of Rome will no longer have to worry about its own survival, and the Eastern Alliance on the north bank of the Cangluo River will no longer have a chance to invade south, and the Roman army will use its own swords to protect their homeland behind them!
